Understanding electrode–electrolyte interfacial phenomena is key to developing efficient electrocatalysts. Here, the authors combine quantum chemical simulations with kinetic modeling to describe the oxygen evolution reaction on nickel-iron-based oxyhydroxide (γ-Ni1−xFexOOH) electrodes in alkaline media, showing that the reaction can be enhanced by tuning the local solvation environment.
